Wrong. The Military calls it an "aptitude test" but it is clearly an I.Q. test. They have been doing these for decades and still do them on every potential recruit. Also, I have no idea how saying recruits have to be of normal intelligence or better is in any way denigrating to people in the service. You don't have to score Mensa levels to get in, but that is true of most jobs. If I accused them of being low IQ, learning deficient I get it, but that is not what I said.

In Canada, the standardized test used to assses recruits for the military is called the CFAT.
The purpose of the Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) is to help determine to which specific military occupations you suit best.
There are two versions of the test. You can either do it by hand or do an electronic version called the electronic Forces Aptitude Test (eCFAT).
The CFAT divided into three components:
Verbal Skills – 15 questions (5 minutes)
Spatial Ability – 15 questions (10 minutes)
Problem Solving – 30 questions (30 minutes)
The use of paper, pens, pencils and erasers are allowed. You can not have any books, notes, dictionaries, thesaurus, writing paper, calculators, calculator watches, or any other sort of aid in the test room.
